Ink Review #500: L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Oconto

Today I will be writing about Callifolio Oconto. Today is a special post as it is my 500th on this website! This is a medium blue with purple undertones. I believe this ink is named after the Oconto River, a tributary of Lake Michigan, Wisconsin.

I found this ink to have an average flow. The color is pleasant and unobtrusive. I liked the warm undertones.

Overall: This is a well-behaved blue ink with some shading. I like the muted tones and water resistance. This would be a great addition to my rotation as a business professional ink!
